AbstractEinstein–Cartan theory is an extension of the standard formulation of General Relativity where torsion (the antisymmetric part of the affine connection) is non-vanishing. Just as the space-time metric is sourced by the stress-energy tensor of the matter fields, torsion is sourced via the spin density tensor, whose physical effects become relevant at very high spin densities. In this work we introduce an extension of the Einstein–Cartan–Dirac theory with an electromagnetic (Maxwell) contribution minimally coupled to torsion. This contribution breaks the U(1) gauge symmetry, which is suggested by the possibility of a torsion-induced phase transition in the early Universe, yielding new physics in extreme (spin) density regimes. We obtain the generalized gravitational, electromagnetic and fermionic field equations for this theory, estimate the strength of the corrections, and discuss the corresponding phenomenology. In particular, we briefly address some astrophysical considerations regarding the relevance of the effects which might take place inside ultra-dense neutron stars with strong magnetic fields (magnetars).

We develop a quaternionic electrodynamics and show that it naturally supports the existence of magnetic monopoles. We obtained the field equations, the continuity equation, the electrodynamic force law, the Poynting vector, the energy conservation, and the stress-energy tensor. The formalism also enabled us to generalize the Dirac monopole and the charge quantization rule.

This paper is aimed to evaluate the existence of wormholes in viable [Formula: see text] gravity models (where [Formula: see text] is the scalar curvature and [Formula: see text] is the trace of stress–energy tensor of matter). The exact solutions for energy–momentum tensor components depending on different shapes and redshift functions are calculated without some additional constraints. To investigate this, we consider static spherically symmetric geometry with matter contents as anisotropic fluid and formulate the Einstein field equations for three different [Formula: see text] models. For each model, we derive expression for weak and null energy conditions and graphically analyzed its violation near the throat. It is really interesting that wormhole solutions do not require the presence of exotic matter — like that in general relativity. Finally, the stability of the solutions for each model is presented using equilibrium condition.

Here we propose the extended modified gravity theory named [Formula: see text] gravity where [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar, [Formula: see text] is the Gauss–Bonnet invariant, and [Formula: see text] is the trace of the stress-energy tensor. We derive the gravitational field equations in [Formula: see text] gravity by taking the least action principle. Next we construct the [Formula: see text] in terms of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in de Sitter as well as power-law expansion. We also construct [Formula: see text] if the expansion follows the finite-time future singularity (big rip singularity). We investigate the energy conditions in this modified theory of gravity and examine the validity of all energy conditions.

Weak gravitational field in the asymptotic region far outside the core of a global texture is investigated without the nonlinear σ-model approximation. We solve the linearized Einstein field equations with the stress-energy tensor contributed by a spherically symmetric global texture to obtain the asymptotic form of the metric. It is shown that, even in this more general case than that of the self-similar solution in the nonlinear σ-model approximation, the metric of the spatial hyperspace in the asymptotic region is that of a flat space with a deficit solid angle whose magnitude is independent of time.

Eddington-inspired Born–Infeld (EiBI) gravity is a recently proposed modified theory of gravity, based on the classic work of Eddington and Born–Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics. In this paper, we consider the possibility that wormhole geometries are sustained in EiBI gravity. We present the gravitational field equations for an anisotropic stress–energy tensor and consider the generic conditions, for the auxiliary metric, at the wormhole throat. In addition to this, we obtain an exact solution for an asymptotically flat wormhole.

AbstractThe f(R, T) gravity is a theory whose gravitational action depends arbitrarily on the Ricci scalar, R, and the trace of the stress–energy tensor, T; its field equations also depend on matter Lagrangian, $$\mathscr {L}_{m}$$ L m . In the modified theories of gravity where field equations depend on Lagrangian, there is no uniqueness on the Lagrangian definition and the dynamics of the gravitational and matter fields can be different depending on the choice performed. In this work, we have eliminated the $$\mathscr {L}_{m}$$ L m dependence from f(R, T) gravity field equations by generalizing the approach of Moraes in Ref. [1]. We also propose a general approach where we argue that the trace of the energy–momentum tensor must be considered an “unknown” variable of the field equations. The trace can only depend on fundamental constants and few inputs from the standard model. Our proposal resolves two limitations: first the energy–momentum tensor of the f(R, T) gravity is not the perfect fluid one; second, the Lagrangian is not well-defined. As a test of our approach we applied it to the study of the matter era in cosmology, and the theory can successfully describe a transition between a decelerated Universe to an accelerated one without the need for dark energy.

Spherically Symmetric Spacetime

In this paper, our aim is to study (n + 2)-dimensional collapse of perfect fluid spherically symmetric spacetime in the context of f(R, T) gravity. The matching conditions are acquired by considering a spherically symmetric non-static (n + 2)-dimensional metric in the inner region and Schwarzschild (n + 2)-dimensional metric in the outer region of the star. To solve the field equations for above settings in f(R, T) gravity, we choose the stress–energy tensor trace and the Ricci scalar as constants. It is observed that two physical horizons, namely, cosmological and black hole horizons appear as a consequence of this collapse. A singularity is also formed after the birth of both the horizons. It is also observed that the term f(R0, T0) slows down the collapsing process.

Graphical Presentation

In this work, we have studied LRS Bianchi type I cosmological models in [Formula: see text] gravity with tilted observers, where [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar and [Formula: see text] is the trace of the stress energy tensor. We have explored a tilted model and determined the solutions of the field equations by assuming special law of variation of Hubble’s parameter, proposed by Berman (1983) that yields constant deceleration parameter. In this scenario, we have used the equation of state [Formula: see text] and power law of velocity to describe the different anisotropic physical models such as Dust Universe, Radiation Universe, Hard Universe and Zedovich Universe. We have discussed graphical presentation of all parameters of the derived models with the help of MATLAB. Some physical and geometrical aspects of the models are also discussed.

Lorentzian Warped Product

In this paper we have sought solutions of the nonstatic spherically symmetric field equations that exhibit nonzero shear. The Lorentzian-warped product construction is used to present the spherically symmetric metric tensor in double-null coordinates. The field equations, kinematical quantities, and Riemann invariants are computed for a perfect-fluid stress-energy tensor. For a special observer, one of the field equations reduces to a form that admits wavelike solutions. Assuming a functional relationship between the metric coefficients, the remaining field equation becomes a second-order nonlinear differential equation that may be reduced as well.

Horizon Geometry

The second-order term of the approximate stress–energy tensor of the quantized massive scalar field in the Bertotti–Robinson and Reissner–Nordström spacetimes is constructed within the framework of the Schwinger–DeWitt method. It is shown that although the Bertotti–Robinson geometry is a self-consistent solution of the (Λ = 0) semiclassical Einstein field equations with the source term given by the leading term of the renormalized stress–energy tensor, it does not remain so when the next-to-leading term is taken into account and requires the introduction of a cosmological term. The addition of the electric charge to the system does not change this behavior. The near horizon geometry of the extreme quantum-corrected Reissner–Nordström black hole is analyzed. It has the AdS2 ×S2 topology and the sum of the curvature radii of the two-dimensional submanifolds is proportional to the trace of the second-order term. It suggests that the "minimal" approximation should be constructed from the first two terms of the Schwinger–DeWitt expansion
